Are you happy with your Goodyear MT/Rs? (photos)

Are yours the TSL SX, the TSL Radial, or the TSL bias ply?

bias ply swampers....i was thinking of the sx's originally, but the price won me over. and as i understand it, the side wall of the sx's is like wicked stiff, even compared to the bias ply...so that kinda scared me off....

ok....here we go... at 30 psi it was 34.5" tall

@11 psi = 34"

@6 psi = 33.25"

now...one thing to mention about this....it has been sitting for a while, so i would imagine there is a big nasty flat spot on there....im not sure how that would effect the result, but i just thought id mention it!

And I thought the Claws had stiff sidewalls!

hehehe...well ya...but when these get on the rocks...they actually do flex.....click me! -- this is about 12 psi....

Alright it's a done deal. I sold my Thornbirds yesterday. Kinda sad to see them go but I'm kinda getting excited about the 35" Goodyears that I am going to buy.

I figured that I'd add to the tire comparisons:

BFG M/T KM's - 35x12.50x15

30 psi - 34 1/2"

11 psi - 33 3/8"

How's that for a soft side wall

The other cool thing about Good Year MT/R's...
They are the same tire we put on our Hummers. And I have seen what they can do.
